The Weeknd recently teased the forthcoming conclusion to his album trilogy via Instagram, offering fans a sneak peek into what appears to be the final “chapter.” In the video, familiar motifs from his After Hours era are prominently featured: his trademark red suit, sunglasses, and sports car, alongside an intriguing visual of him depicted as an elderly man from the Dawn FM cover art. Accompanied by an unreleased track showcasing The Weeknd’s vocals, the footage shows a younger version of the artist surrounded by white figures reaching out towards him. A beam of light gradually illuminates him, revealing a garden beneath his feet. The teaser concludes with the message, “There are three chapters in this tale.”
While no official details have been confirmed yet, The Weeknd hinted in a June 2023 interview with Variety that he is in the final stages of completing the new project. He mentioned that the album’s title will be disclosed soon, clarifying that it isn’t what some fans speculate it to be—although one of those speculated titles may indeed be a track on the album rather than its official name. The artist’s cryptic statement has sparked anticipation among his followers eagerly awaiting further updates.
